What will America stand
for in 2050?
The
US should think long and hard about the high number of Latino immigrants.
By
Lawrence Harrison
Palo Alto, Calif.
President Obama
has encouraged Americans to start laying a new foundation for the country – on
a number of fronts. He has stressed that we'll need to have the courage to make
some hard choices. One of those hard choices is how to handle immigration. The
US must get serious about the tide of legal and illegal immigrants, above all
from Latin America.
It's not just a
short-run issue of immigrants competing with citizens for jobs as unemployment
approaches 10 percent or the number of uninsured straining the quality of
healthcare. Heavy immigration from Latin America threatens our cohesiveness as
a nation.
The political
realities of the rapidly growing Latino population are such that Mr. Obama may
be the last president who can avert the permanent, vast underclass implied by
the current Census Bureau projection for 2050.
Do I sound like a
right-wing "nativist"? I'm not. I'm a lifelong Democrat; an early and
avid supporter of Obama. I'm gratified
by his nomination of Sonia Sotomayor to the Supreme Court. I'm also the
grandson of Eastern European Jewish immigrants; and a member, along with
several other Democrats, of the advisory boards of the Federation for American
Immigration Reform and Pro English. Similar concerns preoccupied the
distinguished Democrat Barbara Jordan when she chaired the congressionally
mandated US Commission on Immigration Reform in the 1990s.
Congresswoman Jordan was worried about the adverse impact of high
levels of legal and illegal immigration on poor citizens, disproportionately
Latinos and African-Americans. The principal beneficiaries of our current
immigration policy are affluent Americans who hire immigrants at substandard
wages for low-end work. Harvard economist George Borjas estimates that American
workers lose $190 billion annually in depressed wages caused by the constant
flooding of the labor market at the low-wage end.
The healthcare
cost of the illegal workforce is especially burdensome, and is subsidized by
taxpayers. To claim Medicaid, you must be legal, but as the Health and Human
Services inspector general found, 47 states allow self-declaration of status
for Medicaid. Many hospitals and clinics
are going broke because of the constant stream of uninsured, many of whom are
the estimated 12 million to 15 million illegal immigrants. This translates
into reduced services, particularly for lower-income citizens.
The US population
totaled 281 million in 2000. About 35 million, or 12.5 percent, were Latino.
The Census Bureau projects that our population will reach 439 million in 2050,
a 56 percent increase over the 2000 census. The Hispanic population in 2050 is
projected at 133 million – 30 percent of the total and almost quadruple the
2000 level. Population growth is the principal threat to the environment via
natural resource use, sprawl, and pollution. And population growth is fueled
chiefly by immigration.
Consider what
this, combined with worrisome evidence that Latinos are not melting into our
cultural mainstream, means for the US. Latinos have contributed some positive
cultural attributes, such as multigenerational family bonds, to US society. But
the same traditional values that lie behind Latin America's difficulties in
achieving democratic stability, social justice, and prosperity are being
substantially perpetuated among Hispanic-Americans.
Prominent Latin
Americans have concluded that traditional values are at the root of the
region's development problems. Among those expressing that opinion: Peruvian
writer Mario Vargas Llosa; Nobelist author Octavio Paz, a Mexican; Teodoro
Moscoso, a Puerto Rican politician and US ambassador to Venezuela; and
Ecuador's former president, Osvaldo Hurtado.
Latin America's cultural
problem is apparent in the persistent Latino high school dropout rate – 40
percent in California, according to a recent study – and the high incidence of
teenage pregnancy, single mothers, and crime. The perpetuation of Latino culture is facilitated by the Spanish
language's growing challenge to English as our national language. It makes
it easier for Latinos to avoid the melting pot and for education to remain a
low priority, as it is in Latin America – a problem highlighted in recent books
by former New York City deputy mayor Herman Badillo, a Puerto Rican, and
Mexican-Americans Lionel Sosa and Ernesto Caravantes.
Language is the
conduit of culture. Consider: There is no word in Spanish for
"compromise" (compromiso means "commitment") nor for
"accountability," a problem that is compounded by a verb structure
that converts "I dropped (broke, forgot) something" into "it got
dropped" ("broken," "forgotten").
As the USAID
mission director during the first two years of the Sandinista regime in
Nicaragua, I had difficulty communicating "dissent" to a government
minister at a crucial moment in our efforts to convince the US Congress to
approve a special appropriation for Nicaragua.
I was later told
by a bilingual, bicultural Nicaraguan educator that when I used
"dissent" what my Nicaraguan counterparts understood was
"heresy." "We are, after all, children of the Inquisition,"
he added.
In a letter to me
in 1991, Mexican-American columnist Richard Estrada described the essence of
the problem of immigration as one of numbers. We should really worry, he wrote,
"when the numbers begin to favor not only the maintenance and
replenishment of the immigrants' source culture, but also its overall growth,
and in particular growth so large that the numbers not only impede assimilation
but go beyond to pose a challenge to the traditional culture of the American
nation."
Obama should
confront the challenges by enforcing immigration laws on employment to help end
illegal immigration. We should calibrate legal immigration annually to (1) the
needs of the economy, as Ms. Jordan urged, and (2) past performance of
immigrant groups with respect to acculturation.
We must declare our national language to be English and discourage
the proliferation of Spanish- language media. We should limit citizenship by
birth to the offspring of citizens. And we should provide immigrants with
easy-to-access educational services that facilitate acculturation, including
English language, citizenship, and American values.

compensation from the federal government.
CA Hospitals
Spend $1.25 Billion On Illegal Immigrants
July 05, 2011
While the Obama Administration
halts deportations to work on its secret amnesty plan, hospitals across the U.S.
are getting stuck with the exorbitant tab of medically treating illegal
immigrants and some are finally demanding compensation from the federal
government .The
group that represents most of the nation’s hospitals and medical providers
recently urged President Obama to work with Congress to reimburse them for the
monstrous cost of treating illegal immigrants. Federal law requires facilities
to “treat and stabilize individuals” regardless of their immigration status,
but federal support for the services remains “virtually
nonexistent,”according
to a letter submitted by the American Hospital Association to the
president.This week officials in California, the state with the largest
concentration of illegal immigrants, joined the call for federal compensation
after revealing that hospitals there spend about $1.25 billion annually to care for illegal
aliens. The figure skyrocketed from $1.05 billion in 2007, according to
California Hospital Association figures quoted in a local news report.The
problem will only get worst, according to officials, who say the $1.25 billion
for 2010 could actually be higher. They complain that federal law forces them
to treat patients in emergency rooms regardless of immigration status yet they
get stuck with the financial burden. This has forced many hospitals to curtail services
or close beds and could ultimately compromise healthcare. Nationwide, U.S.
taxpayers spend tens of billions of dollars annually to provide free medical
care for illegal immigrants with states that border Mexico taking the biggest
hit. Adding to the problem is the fact that Mexico, the country that provides
the largest amount of illegal immigrants in the U.S., has long promoted
America’s generous public health centers. It even operates a Spanish-language
program(Ventanillas
de Salud, Health Windows) in about a dozen U.S. cities that refers its
nationals—living in the country illegally—to publicly funded health centers
where they can get free medical care without being turned over to immigration
authorities.

THE REALITY OF
LA RAZA’S LOOTING OF CA:
Consider
Ignacio Mesa Viera, subject of a recent front-page story in the Sacramento Bee.
He came to the United States illegally in 1979 to work and help his family, as
he explained, but was convicted on a drug offense in 1995. He was deported but
returned to the United States, whereupon he was busted for another drug offense
in 2008. Before his recent deportation, the U.S. government was paying for
Viera’s kidney dialysis, a treatment that can cost more than $60,000 a year. “I
imagine that the reason they don’t want to let me stay in this country,” Viera
told the Bee, “is they don’t want to be paying for this.”

YES! OBAMA DID LIE THE AMERICAN PEOPLE THAT HIS OBAMACARE DID NOT INCLUDE
ILLEGALS! OBAMA AND PELOSI HAD IT RIGGED SO THAT WHILE IT READS THAT IT
PRECLUDES ILLEGALS, IT IS ILLEGAL TO ASK THE ILLEGAL WHAT THEIR STATUS IS! DEMS
ARE THE PARTY of ILLEGALS!
HERE’S
HOW IT WORKS: THE FEDERAL GOV REFUSES TO DEFEND OUR BORDERS AGAINST THE MEX
INVASION, BUT THEN CUTS STATES’ REIMBURSEMENT FOR THE MEXICAN OCCUPATION.
PRIVATE
HOSPITALS IN MEX-OCCUPIED CA ALONE MUST PAY OUT $1.3 BILLION PER YEAR IN
MEDICAL TO ILLEGALS. MANY COUNTIES PAY OUT MORE. LOS ANGELES PAYS OUT $600
MILLION IN WELFARE TO ILLEGALS, SOME OF WHICH IS “FREE” MEDICAL!
NOT ONE LEGAL VOTED TO BE LOOTED BY MEXICO! AND
IT ONLY GETS WORSE YEAR AFTER YEAR!
WASHINGTON
STATE IS A SANCTUARY STATE THAT ENCOURAGES ILLEGALS TO OCCUPY SO THE STATE CAN PAY MISERABLE WAGES. HOW MUCH DOES
ALL THAT “CHEAP” MEXICAN LABOR REALLY COST LEGALS? IN MEXIFORNIA, ONE-THIRD OF
ILLEGALS END UP ON WELFARE (SEE THE CASE
STUDY BELOW FOR THE STAGGERING COST OF JUST ONE FAMILY).
They include small rural outposts like Othello Community
Hospital in
Washington State, which receives a steady flow of farmworkers who live in the
country illegally.

Hospitals
Are Worried About Cut in Fund for the Uninsured
President
Obama’s health
care law is putting new strains on some of the nation’s most hard-pressed
hospitals, by cutting aid they use to pay for emergency care for illegal
immigrants, which they have long been required to provide.
The
federal government has been spending $20 billion annually to reimburse these
hospitals — most in poor urban and
rural areas — for treating more than their share of the uninsured, including
illegal immigrants. The health care law will eventually cut that money in half,
based on the premise that fewer people will lack insurance after the law takes
effect.
But the
estimated 11
million people now living illegally in the United States are not covered by the
health care law. Its sponsors, seeking to sidestep the contentious debate overimmigration, excluded them from the law’s benefits.
As a
result, so-called safety-net hospitals said the cuts would deal a severe blow
to their finances.
The hospitals are coming under this pressure
because many of their uninsured patients are illegal immigrants, and because
their large pools of uninsured or poorly insured patients are not expected to
be reduced significantly under the Affordable Care Act, even as federal aid
shrinks.
The
hospitals range from prominent public ones, like Bellevue Hospital Center in
Manhattan, to neighborhood mainstays like Lutheran
Medical Center in Brooklyn and Scripps Mercy Hospital in San Diego. They include small rural outposts like Othello
Community Hospital in Washington State, which receives a steady
flow of farmworkers who live in the country illegally.
No
matter where they are, all hospitals are obliged under federal
law to treat anyone who arrives at the emergency room, regardless of their
immigration status.
“That’s
the 800-pound gorilla in the room, and not just in New York — in Texas, in
California, in Florida,” Lutheran’s chief executive, Wendy Z. Goldstein, said.
Lutheran
Medical Center is in the Sunset Park neighborhood, where low-wage earning
Chinese and Latino communities converge near an expressway. Hospitals are not
allowed to record patients’ immigration status, but Ms. Goldstein estimated
that 20 percent of its patients were what she called “the undocumented — not
only uninsured, but uninsurable.”
She
said Congressional staff members acknowledged that the health care law would
scale back the money that helps pay for emergency care for such patients, but
were reluctant to tackle the issue.
“I was
told in Washington that they understand that this is a problem, but immigration
is just too hot to touch,” she said.
The
Affordable Care Act sets up state exchanges to reduce the cost of commercial health
insurance, but people must prove citizenship or legal
immigration status to take part. They must show similar documentation to apply
for Medicaid benefits
that are expanded under the law.
The act
did call for increasing a little-known national network of
1,200 community health centers that provide primary care to the needy,
regardless of their immigration status. But that plan, which could potentially
steer more of the uninsured away from costly hospital care, was curtailed by
Congressional budget cuts last year.
That
leaves hospitals like Lutheran, which is nonprofit and has run a string of such
primary care centers for 40 years, facing cuts at both ends.
On a
recent weekday in Lutheran’s emergency room, a Chinese mother of two stared
sadly through the porthole of an isolation unit. The woman had active tuberculosis
and needed surgery to drain fluid from one lung, said Josh Liu, a patient
liaison.
The
disease had been discovered during a checkup at one of Lutheran’s primary care
centers, where the sliding scale fee starts at $15. But the woman, an illegal immigrant,
had no way to pay for the surgery.
Another
patient, a gaunt 44-year-old man from Ecuador, had been in New York eight
years, installing wood floors, one in Rockefeller Center. The man had been
afraid to seek care because he feared deportation. Finally, the pain in his
stomach was too much to bear.
Dr.
Daniel J. Giaccio, leading the residents on their rounds, used the notches on
the man’s worn belt to underscore his diagnosis, severe B-12 deficiency anemia. The woodworker had lost 30 pounds in a month, and his hands and
feet were numb. Reversing the damage could take months.
In some
states, including New York, hospitals caring for illegal immigrants in
life-threatening situations can seek payment case by case, from a program known
as emergency Medicaid. But the program has many restrictions and will not make
up for the cuts in the $20 billion pool, hospital executives said.
Groups
that favor more restrictive immigration policies said they agreed that the cuts
in the $20 billion fund were a burden. They said hospitals obviously had a duty
to provide emergency care for everybody, including illegal immigrants.
“I kind
of like living in a society where we don’t let people die on the steps of the
emergency room,” said Mark Krikorian, the executive director of one such group,
the Center for Immigration Studies in Washington.
But he
said the answer lay in enforcing laws, so that illegal immigrants leave the
country, not in extending health coverage.
“There
is no ideal resolution to the problem, other than reducing the illegal
population,” he said. “Incorporating illegal immigrants into health exchanges
or directly taxpayer-funded health care legitimizes their presence.”
The
Obama administration said the Affordable Care Act supported safety-net
hospitals in other ways, pointing to measures that raise payments for primary
care and give bonuses for improvements in quality.
“We are
taking important steps to make health care more affordable and accessible for
millions of Americans,” Erin Shields Britt, a spokeswoman for the Department of
Health and Human Services, said in an e-mail. “Health reform isn’t the place to
fix our broken immigration system.”
With
illegal immigration an issue in the presidential campaign, many politicians
continue to steer clear of addressing the cuts.
Hospitals
in New York State now receive $2.84 billion of the nation’s $20 billion in
so-called disproportionate share hospital payments.
Those
payments start shrinking in 2014 under the law, and drop to $10 billion by
2019.
“It is
a difficult time to really advocate around this issue, because there is so much
antipathy against new immigrants,” said Alan Aviles, president and chief
executive of the Health and Hospitals Corporation.
The
corporation runs New York City’s public hospitals, which treated 480,000
uninsured patients last year, an estimated 40 percent of them illegal
immigrants. The same worries haunt tiny Othello Community Hospital, in
Washington state’s rural Adams County, where it is the only hospital for miles
around.
Last
year, the state began requiring that participants in a basic health plan prove
that they are citizens or legal residents.
As a
consequence, 4,000 out of the 4,400 patients at the nearby primary care center,
mostly immigrant farmworkers, lost their coverage, leaving Othello more
financially vulnerable when those people need emergency care.
In
Central California, Harry Foster, director of the Family HealthCare Network,
another primary care center, called the Affordable Care Act “a double-edged
sword.”
Many
low-wage earning citizens now lack employer-sponsored health insurance, and the
health care industry is already competing for those who will gain coverage
through the law. But no one is competing to treat those it leaves out, he said.
“We
will receive more and more of those patients,” he said, estimating that 40
percent of the area’s residents were illegal immigrant farmworkers. “But
financially, we can’t take on all the uninsured patients in the area, to the
exclusion of all the others, and survive.”
In many
ways Lutheran, a century-old hospital that refurbished a defunct factory to
serve as its hub in the 1960s, has been a prototype of the law’s new model:
coordinating primary and preventive care to improve health outcomes while curbing
costs. Yet it stands to lose $25 million from the cuts.
“This
is an unintended consequence of the law,” said Ms. Goldstein, the hospital’s
chief executive. “But so far, nobody is doing anything to resolve it.”

MEXIFORNIA
STUDY OF MEXICANS FEEDING OFF THE AMERICAN GRAVY TRAIN:
Jose Herria emigrated illegally from Mexico to
Stockton, Calif., in 1997 to work as a fruit picker. He brought with him his
wife, Felipa, and three children, 19, 12 and 8 – all illegals. When Felipa gave
birth to her fourth child, daughter Flor, the family had what is referred to as
an "anchor baby" – an American citizen by birth who provided the
entire Silverio clan a ticket to remain in the U.S. permanently. But Flor was
born premature, spent three months in the neonatal incubator and cost the San
Joaquin Hospital more than $300,000. Meanwhile, oldest daughter Lourdes married
an illegal alien gave birth to a daughter, too. Her name is Esmeralda. And
Felipa had yet another child, Cristian. The two Silverio anchor babies generate
$1,000 per month in public welfare funding for the family. Flor gets $600 a
month for asthma. Healthy Cristian gets $400. While the Silverios earned
$18,000 last year picking fruit, they picked up another $12,000 for their two
"anchor babies." While President Bush says the U.S. needs more
"cheap labor" from south of the border to do jobs Americans aren't
willing to do, the case of the Silverios shows there are indeed uncalculated
costs involved in the importation of such labor – public support and uninsured
medical costs. In fact, the increasing number of illegal aliens coming into the
United States is forcing the closure of hospitals, spreading previously
vanquished diseases and threatening to destroy America's prized health-care
system, says a report in the spring issue of the Journal of American Physicians
and Surgeons. "The influx of illegal aliens has serious hidden medical
consequences," writes Madeleine Pelner Cosman, author of the report.
"We judge reality primarily by what we see. But what we do not see can be
more dangerous, more expensive, and more deadly than what is seen."
According to her study, 84 California hospitals are closing their doors as a
direct result of the rising number of illegal aliens and their non-reimbursed
tax on the system. "Anchor babies," the author writes, "born to
illegal aliens instantly qualify as citizens for welfare benefits and have
caused enormous rises in Medicaid costs and stipends under Supplemental
Security Income and Disability Income." In addition, the report says,
"many illegal aliens harbor fatal diseases that American medicine fought
and vanquished long ago, such as drug-resistant tuberculosis, malaria, leprosy,
plague, polio, dengue, and Chagas disease." While politicians often
mention there are 43 million without health insurance in this country, the
report estimates that at least 25 percent of those are illegal immigrants. The
figure could be as high as 50 percent. Not being insured does not mean they
don't get medical care. Under the Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor
Act of 1985, hospitals are obligated to treat the uninsured without
reimbursement. "Government imposes viciously stiff fines and penalties on
any physician and any hospital refusing to treat any patient that a zealous
prosecutor deems an emergency patient, even though the hospital or physician
screened and declared the patient's illness or injury non-emergency," says
the report. "But government pays neither hospital nor physician for
treatments. In addition to the fiscal attack on medical facilities and
personnel, EMTALA is a handy truncheon with which to pummel politically
unpopular physicians by falsely accusing them of violating EMTALA."
According to the report, between 1993 and 2003, 60 California hospitals closed
because half their services became unpaid. Another 24 California hospitals
verge on closure, the author writes. "American hospitals welcome 'anchor
babies,'" says the report. "Illegal alien women come to the hospital
in labor and drop their little anchors, each of whom pulls its illegal alien
mother, father, and siblings into permanent residency simply by being born
within our borders. Anchor babies are citizens, and instantly qualify for
public welfare aid: Between 300,000 and 350,000 anchor babies annually become
citizens because of the Fourteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution:
"All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the
jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and the State wherein
they reside." Among the organizations directing illegal aliens into
America's medical systems, according to the report, are the Ford
Foundation-funded Mexican American Legal Defense and Education Fund, the
National Immigration Law Center, the American Immigration Lawyers Association,
the American Bar Association's Commission on Immigration Policy, Practice, and
Pro Bono, the Immigrant Legal Resource Center, the National Council of La Raza,
George Soros's Open Society Institute, the Migration Policy Institute, the
National Network for Immigration and Refugee Rights and the Southern Poverty
Law Center. Because drug addiction and alcoholism are classified as diseases
and disabilities, the fiscal toll on the health-care system rises.

County’s Monthly Welfare Tab For
Illegal Aliens $52 Million
09/07/2010
As the
mainstream media focuses on a study that reveals a sharp decline in the
nation’s illegal immigrant population, monthly welfare payments to children of
undocumented aliens increased to $52 million in one U.S. county alone.
The hoopla
surrounding last week’s news that the annual flow of illegal immigrants into
the U.S. dropped
by two-thirds in the past decade overlooked an important matter; the cost of
educating, incarcerating and medically treating illegal aliens hasn’t decreased
along with it, but rather skyrocketed to the tune of tens of billions of
dollars annually.
THIS
FIGURE DOES NOT INCLUDE EXTRA MILLIONS PAID FOR ANCHOR BABIES
Those figures
don’t even include the extra millions that local municipalities dish out on
welfare payments to the U.S.-born children of illegal immigrants, commonly
known as anchor babies. In Los Angeles County alone that figure increased by
nearly $4 million in the last year, sticking taxpayers with a whopping $52 million tab to provide illegal immigrants’ offspring with food
stamps and other welfare benefits for just one month.
That means the
nation’s most populous county, in the midst of a dire financial crisis, will
spend more than $600 million this year to provide families headed by illegal immigrants
with welfare benefits. In each of the past two years Los Angeles County
taxpayers have spent about half a billion dollars just to cover the welfare and
food-stamp costs of illegal immigrants. Additionally,
the county spends $550 million on public safety and nearly $500 million on
healthcare for illegal aliens.
About a quarter
of the county’s welfare and food stamp issuances go to parents who reside in
the United States illegally and collect benefits for their anchor babies,
according to the figures from L.A. County’s Department of Social Services.
Nationwide, Americans pay around $22 billion annually to provide illegal
immigrants with welfare perks that include food assistance programs such as
free school lunches in public schools, food stamps and a nutritional program
(known as WIC) for low-income women and their children.

Illegal
immigrants drain the tax dollars
Congressional study shows illegal immigrants sap tax dollars
The Business Journal of Phoenix - by Ty Young Phoenix Business Journal
A study by the U.S. Congressional Budget Office released Tuesday backs up the view that undocumented immigrants sap more tax dollars than they provide, especially in education, health care and law enforcement.
The study pulled together reports from the past five years, using data from sources including the Pew Hispanic Center, the Rand Corp., the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and various universities. The Congressional study also incorporated facts from states, including Arizona, but its authors acknowledged there was no aggregate estimate that could be applied to the entire country.
The report says that in 1990, 90 percent of undocumented immigrants primarily were in six states: California, Florida, Illinois, New Jersey, New York and Texas.
By 2004, undocumented immigrants had increased tenfold in other states, most notably Arizona, Georgia, North Carolina and Tennessee, according to statistics from the Pew Hispanic Center.
The report estimates there are 12 million undocumented immigrants nationwide. Of those, 60 percent are uninsured and 50 percent of the children are uninsured. Again using 2004 statistics from the Pew Hispanic Center the average income of undocumented immigrants was $27,400 while Americans earned $47,800. The difference puts undocumented immigrants in a lower tax bracket, thus reducing the amount of federal and state income taxes generated.
The study also showed that while undocumented workers represented just 5 percent of state and federal service costs, their tax revenue did not offset the amount spent by government. The authors of the study stated that, "the general consensus is that unauthorized immigrants impose a net cost on state and local budgets. However, no agreement exists as to the size of, or even the best way of measuring, that cost at a national level."
In education, which the study notes is the largest single expenditure in state and local budgets, multiple states reported 20 to 40 percent higher costs educating non-English speaking students, many of whom come from the homes of undocumented immigrant parents. Using New Mexico statistics from 2004 as a model, education spending on undocumented immigrants comprised $67 million of the state's $3 billion education budget.
The study estimates there are 53.3 million school-age children in the U.S., 2 million of whom are undocumented immigrants and another 3 million who are legal citizens, but whose parents are not.
Undocumented immigrants are more likely to access emergency rooms and urgent care facilities because most do not have health care, the study said. In Arizona and other border areas, states paid nearly $190 million in health care costs for undocumented immigrants in 2000, the study reported. The amount, which the study says likely has risen since then, represented one-quarter of all uncompensated health care costs in those states that year.
While the report found that undocumented immigrants are less likely to be incarcerated than American natives, it said states still bear a large cost for the legal process. Based on a report from the U.S./Mexico Border Counties Coalition from 2001, counties from the four states that border Mexico spent more than $108 million on law enforcement activities involving undocumented immigrants. San Diego County in California spent nearly half of that, with more than $50 million going into law enforcement activities involving undocumented immigrants.
“In his state of the union address to the Mexican nation, Calderon established his imperialistic imperatives: "I have said that Mexico does not stop at its border, that wherever there is a Mexican, there is Mexico. And, for this reason, the government action on behalf of our countrymen is guided by principles, for the defense and protection of their rights."

MEXICO
ANCHORS THEIR OCCUPATION OF OUR COUNTRY BY BREEDING “ANCHORS” AT GRINGO COST!
“What the
Pew estimate underlines is that this is a big problem,” said Mark Krikorian,
executive director of the Center for Immigration Studies, a research group in Washington that
advocates reduced immigration.“It really is a subversion of national independence for people who
break into your country then to demand that their kids be U.S. citizens.”
For
some, a struggle WHO THINKS ABOUT THE STRUGGLE OF THE AMERICANS?
Some illegal immigrants have used stolen Social Security numbers to qualify for health programs -- a form of medical identity theft increasingly on hospital radars. Many more scramble to pay for their medicine and doctors visits in cash, a challenge in an economy where day-laborer work has dried up.

Florida ER doctor's notes
Having spent three weeks in a hospital in Naples, Florida with my wife I couldn’t help noticing what was going on in the hospital and I had a lot of time to talk to the doctors and nurses about what I had observed. Below is a commentary from an ER Doctor. Do you think this might be a big reason our health care system and our social security system are so screwed up? Do you think this might be a big reason our taxes keep going up? Who do you think these people are going to vote for?
From a Florida ER doctor:
"I live and work in a state overrun with illegals. They make more money having kids than we earn working full-time. Today I had a 25-year old with 8 kids - thats right 8; all illegal anchor babies and she had the nicest nails, cell phone, hand bag, clothing, etc. She makes about $1,500 monthly for each; you do the math. I used to say, We are the dumbest nation on earth. Now I must say and sadly admit: WE are the dumbest people on earth (that includes ME) for we elected the idiot idealogues who have passed the bills that allow this. Sorry, but we need a revolution. Vote them all out in 2010. "

Mexico Promotes Free U.S. Healthcare
For Illegal Immigrants
Time to wake up
people! With unemployment at 12% and the state going broke, our tax dollars are
going to pay for healthcare for hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens. To the
tune of over a billion dollars a year!
Read on:
Mexico's government operates programs in about a dozen American cities that refers its nationals--living in the U.S. illegally--to publicly funded health centers where they can get free medical care without being turned over to immigration authorities.
The program is called Ventanillas de Salud (Health Windows) in Spanish and its mission is to help illegal immigrants find U.S. hospitals, clinics and other government programs where they can get free services without being deported for violating federal immigration laws.
Chicago, Houston, Los Angeles, San Diego and Indiana are among the cities where Mexican consulates operate the health referral system which annually costs U.S. taxpayers billions of dollars. In Los Angeles County alone, illegal immigrants cost taxpayers nearly $440 million in health services annually and a whopping $1.1 billion statewide.

(THE COUNTY OF LOS
ANGELES PUTS OUT $600 MILLION PER YEAR IN WELFARE TO ILLEGALS)
The Mexican consul in Los Angeles proudly announced that nearly 300,000 Mexicans in the area have benefited from his government's health referral program, which he says actually saves the county money by encouraging immigrants to seek preventive care rather than waiting for more expensive emergency treatment.
The Southern California operation promises to assess "consulate clients" for eligibility to government-funded health insurance and other primary care services and offers free legal assistance to those who are denied coverage. Its goal is to improve access to health services for immigrants of Mexican origin by formalizing a health education, medical home referral and insurance enrollment program.
In Chicago, the Mexican consul's Spanish-language web site heavily promotes the Illinois Department of Health's low-cost prescription medicine program for illegal aliens and various free medical services throughout the state. It encourages all Mexicans in the area to pursue the valuable U.S. government-financed services for their entire family.
The Indiana-based program boasts that it serves thousands of "Mexican nationals" living in that state as well as Ohio, Kentucky and southern Illinois. Mexican officials claim that its highly successful pro-health program sends out a clear message to other Mexican consulates throughout the country and the world.
Although these programs facilitate people to remain in the country illegally, Mexico is working hard to expand them to all 47 U.S. consulates to better serve its nationals. In the meantime, U.S. taxpayers will keep picking up the exorbitant tab of medically treating the millions who live in the country illegally.
